P w-'' THE DRUG HABif How and Why People Become Addicted to the Use of Narcotics. THE SOFT DRINK HABIT Soothing Syrup Contain More or Ijths Morphine.?Cocaine for Children. Most Soft Drinks Contain Coral n and Caffein, Two of the Worst Drugs That We Have. One of the most interesting bul jetins issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, recently, is that on "Habit-Forming Agents" by L. F. Kebler, chief of the division of drugs, of the bureau of chemistry. One reads it and wonders that the mortallity record for children is not greater, and that so many person? llv?* three soore years and ten. withstanding the fact that legislation, federal, state and territorial, adverse to the Indiscriminate sale and use of opium has b^en enacted during the past decade, and most physicians aro using greater circumspection than formerly when prescribing it, Its preifurations. and derivatives, the amount of opium, exclusive of smoking opium, which is denined entry in'o this co'tucy, c -nsumed In the United States per capita, has been doubted within the last forty years," declared Mr. Kebler. "Not only has there been this increased consumption of opium, aut large quantities of other habit forming agents, introduced chiefly for medicinal purposes, haw been used. For example, cocain has been used for about 25 years, and th? amount consumed at present is estimate 1 at approximately 150,000 ounces pe. annum. Under the head of "soothing sirups, baby sirups, colic cures, children's anodynes, teething concoctions, and the like are discussed. It has long been known to the medical profession, the reports says, that these products, hi a rule, contain hanit-forming agents but the majority of mothers have been and are still Ignorant of the fact. In some instances babies have been pit to sleep never to awake again by such drugs. ^Numerous cases if this character are on record. Sometimes there are dove'oped cas^s of drug addiction. The chief active ugents of socMiing sirups are well known to be opium, morphia heroin, corietn, choloroform. and chloral hydrate ia some combination "Th^ following," asserts Mr. KeLler, "are representatives of tbi3 class: "Children's Comfort (morphine sulphate). "Dr. FaJiey's Pepsin Anodyne Compound (morphia sulphate). "Dr. Fahrney's Teething Syrup, (morphine and chloroform). "Dr. Fowler's Strawberry and Pvppermint 'Mixture (morphin). "Dr. droves' Anodyne for Infants, (mtorphine sulphate). i"Mts. Winslow's Soothing Syrup morphine sulphate). "It is hardly believable that anyie for the sake of a few dollars, >utd concoct for infant use a percIour mixture containing cocain, but ^ veral such mixtures have been found during ihe last year. One was ? offered for importation, under the lame of 'Espey's Syrup for Children's Denition,' which contained ?ne-?half grain of cocain hydrochlorid to each bottlo of about an ounce." "During the last twenty years a larg" number of soft drinks containing cuffein ami smaller or greater quantities of coca leaf and kola nut products have been placed ujkmi the market," reports Mr. Kebler. "Preparations of this class on account of Insufficient information, were formerly look d ujion as harmless, but they are known to be an Impending evil. "Cocain is one of the most insidious and dangerous habit-forming drugs at present known. Many lives have been wrecked and many crimes a.hve W en committed as a result of its use and strenuous efforts are being made to curtail its employment. It is known that very small amounts of tnorphin or cocain, or even a suggestion as to their presence, w'll tend to d'-etroy the equilibrium of reformed addicts and bring buck the former craving." "A number of so-called solf drinks now on the market contain both of the habit forming agents, cocain and cafTein. It is not uncommon to find persons addicted to the use of medicated solf drinks. It is also a wellknown fact that many factory employes, stenographers, typeWriters. and others, subject to mental or nervous strain, spend a large part, of their earnings for drinks of this character. "It Is veil known that parents, as a rule, withhold tea and coffee from their children, but having no knowledge otcocain, caffein, or other del- ' eterlous agents in soft drinks, they < unwittingly permit their children to ' be harmed by their use." * Treatments for the nose and the i lungs, asthma, catarrh, colds, con- t sumption, coughs, headaches and d various cures are considered at d IMMORTAL DEN RAIDED IV TMM DAT.irfD AVn 1TC BP CKKT8 MADIC PUBLIC. A Young Mail, Wlio Claimed to Be From India, Is Charged With Abducting New York (iirlH. It was a 8trange story which Detl ctive Callahan told in the New York police court Thursday In describing the raid on Sunday on the Mystic Temple of "Om," a young man who Is entered on the police records of Pierre A. Bernard, a native of India. "Om" was arraigned on the charge of abductiou after the detectives had found him in his luxuriously appointed house, w.here he taught physical culture and languages, surrounded by a number of pupils, mostly young women. Some of his girl pupils said Bernard represented himself as a "swarni" from India. iMi-ss Zela Hopp, a 19-year-old milliner, who had been one of Bernard's "students" told the police the secret signal at the door to obtain admittance. "When I pushed open the parlor doors." Cullahan testified, "I saw B> rnard. He was standing on a glass globe that was on a hair mattress in the center of the room. He was going through some peculiar motions and gyrations as he stood on the globe. Five girls and several men. all in bathing suits, were gathered around him trying to repeat the covenients." .Miss Hopp said she went to Bernard's place last October and consulted him about a method of curing her of heart weakness. Ber nard told her she must come to the place and stay for a time, wJilch she did, first paying him, she testified, a fee of $ 1 00. *Mlss Hopp told the magistrate that Bernard had a peculiar influence over her and that she believed he had hypnotized her. She described things which perhaps happened after she went to the house and made grave charges against Bernard. While she was in the. place she met Miss Gertrude Levy, of Tacoma, Wash., another student", and when she got out she thought she ought to advise Miss Levy's sister, a Mrs. Hanford of Tacoma, of what was going on. Her letters brought Mrs. Hanford to New York and the two women complained to the police. Bernard was held in $15,000 bail for another examination. DKSKRTKl) I1K11 CHILDREN. And Left for l'arts I'nknown With Her Affinity. A supposed tragedy that had put the tongues of many in Rocky Mount, N. C., to wagging, when the report that Mrs. Whitfield, young white woman, had drowned herself in Tar river, has resolved Itself into a situation entirely different from was first reported and after a thorough investigation by the police of the city it was learned that the woman had not gone near the river but that first reported and after a thorthe fact t.hat she had run away from home with an "affinity," leaving her four children, the oldest 12 years old, to the care of any person into whose hands they might fall. The woman wrote Mayor Thorne. a letter stating that she was going to take her life and after mailing the samp she left the city with a man who had been paying her attention heretofore. The executive of the city placed the children under the care of a kind neighbor, while the father of the children, who resides in Nash county, was notified of the proceeduse and told to send for the little ones. The cause of the woman's actions it is thought are due to the fact that her husband had practically deserted her and that their domestic relations had been far from pleasant. T,sill...r k:.......I.

The number of drug addicts in the United .States, it is estimated, is somewhere between 1,000,000 and 4,000,000. Concerning tobacco-habit cures Mr. Kebler says: "All are ineffective, ind some contain cocain in one form >r another, which at once Indicates :he purpose of the promoter of the emedy.
